The increasing prevalence of autism has amplified the need for evidence of behavioural treatments to lessen the impact of the symptoms in the functioning of children with this syndrome. Currently there are no cures or psychopharmacological therapies that act on all the symptoms of the disorder. The goal of the research is the systematic review of the evidence for the effectiveness of early intensive behavioral (EIBI) to increase the functional behaviors and skills of children with ASD. The term "autism spectrum disorder" (ASD) is the clinical nomenclature commonly used to define these disorders throughout life affect the brain and behavior of individuals who are affected. The results of this review are consistent with most of the studies meta-analysis of EIBI, which show positive effects in favor of EIBI for IQ and adaptive behavior. The authors' conclusions: There is some evidence to show that EIBI is an effective treatment for children diagnosed with ASD. The evidence indicates increases in the areas of IQ, adaptive behavior, socialization, communication, and daily living skills, with major gains made in IQ and socialization. As a summary of the main results was shown that EIBI improves adaptive behavior, cognitive ability (IQ), expressive, receptive language, communicational skills every day, every day social competence and daily living skills. Every parent of an autistic child from the time of diagnosis, hoping that their child can through appropriate care, get one day to be able to lead a normal life. Howling in 2005, says that 20 to 25 percent of people with Autistic Disorder reaches a certain level of independence and individual work.
